The trio doesn’t hold back as they discuss the openly ethical-bankruptcy of billionaires and explore the surreal cultural twist of the moment: Swift’s alleged leap onto the ‘trad-wife’ bandwagon.

Memoir SnobEpisode 59: Joanna RakoffA conversation with the author of My Salinger Year.How many characters do you really need? Make a list. Every character needs to be fully-fleshed, each with their own motivations. In order to make them real, you need to find them interesting, complicated. You need to be curious. Then, you need to write from a place of love and cold-bloodedness at the same time. “If you really want to write something great, if you’re really aiming at greatness, at things truly working, not at just like getting something out there, you have to be okay...

A theocratic United States where women were treated as if they were "in 17th century New England" seemed to her, in 1985, to be "far-fetched" and "silly." Yet Gilead is slowly becoming an American reality. How do writers fight back against the patriarchy that strives to silence them?

2022-02-2816 minThe Book ReviewJennifer Haigh on 'Mercy Street'Jennifer Haigh’s new novel, “Mercy Street” — which Richard Russo calls “extraordinary” in his review — is about a woman named Claudia who works at a women’s clinic in Boston. It’s also about the protesters outside. On this week’s podcast, Haigh says the novel was inspired in part by her own time working on a clinic’s hotline.“Obviously I am strongly pro-choice or I wouldn’t have been volunteering at this clinic,” Haigh says. “But until this experience, I knew very little about what abortion actually means in a person’s life.
